Hurdles and Marbles

This was quite a busy week! We had a trip to the local park, a visit with a long, lost friend, a celebration of life (much love to Em and her family), wacky hair day, work-work-work, and Ava's Track & Field day. My snazzy new to-do app is keeping me on track, so I'm even knocking off some projects that have been on my list for a few years. Feels fantastic to be so productive and to be using my time so well! We've always known that Ava isn't the most athletically inclined...and that's ok! She's incredibly creative and crafty, and she loves to read. If there was a track day for that, she'd win it all!  The second graders had their track day this past Tuesday...the weather was hot and sunny, and the kids were excited! Both Scott and I went, along with Grandma Karen, Grandpa Doug, and Grandpa Whitey.  Ava had quite the little cheering crew.  Actually, the other kids in her group did, too, so we were a mob when we moved between all of the different events. 

You CAN Wash Light-Up Shoes!

We have a puker! Little G apparently wasn't feeling the greatest and decided to spill his guts (literally) all over his crib on Sunday night. Nothing says "motherly love" more than scraping off vomit, with your fingernails, at 3:30a.m.  Thank goodness we have a washing machine...I can't imagine how horrible it would be to have to hand wash items, during times like this. Or, anytime really. Yay for washing machines! He didn't have a fever, and was in good spirits, so we sent him off to daycare, and all was well.  Until Wednesday when I got a call that he threw up right after breakfast. So, he spent the afternoon with Daddy, and the next morning with me. And he was fine! No more vomit. But, the bigger mystery was...where were his shoes?! When Scott picked him up on Wednesday, he was shoeless, so G was introduced to his new  flip flops (not so sure about them at first, but he likes them now.)  When I dropped him off midday on Thursday, we located his shoes at dayca

Spider-Man on Wheels

G is following in his big sister's footsteps, and is excited to be on two (plus two tiny) wheels! One of my coworkers mentioned that her son had outgrown his bike, so I commented that if she was looking to get rid of it, I knew a little boy who would love to have it. I bought G a new helmet (no, it's not Spider-Man), and within minutes of being on his new bike last weekend, he fell in love with it. I asked if he was interested in riding his tricycle again and the answer was a big ol' NO! He thinks he's pretty cool with his Spider-Man shoes and Spider-Man bike! We had a wonderful brunch out as a family for Mother's Day last weekend, and then we each spent time with our respective moms in the afternoon...it was the perfect way to spend our special day! Plus, I had the chance to check out the final results of my parent's condo remodel...it's lookin' good! My very special Lego creation from Ava, to celebrate how awesome of a mother I am! ;)
